"God all Love, because he loves Himself. Just as a mighty river, emptying itself in the sea, is ever replenished by the sea, so must you empty yourselves in Love that you may be ever filled with Love. Love is the Law of God. You live that you may learn to love. You love that you may learn to live. "
- Mikhail Naimy "The Book of Midrad" (chapter 11)

"I went to the Holy Land, to Mecca and to Rome.
I visited many churches, temples and mosques.
I climbed the tallest mountain.
I looked in the books of an old Eastern religion, to no avail.
I opened my heart and that is where he was.

Rumi was looking for a figurative God. The real God is hiding in a Port-a Potty. And since no one ever thinks to look there, no one has yet found the real God.

Was this before or after D'Souza's Felony Conviction for an illegal campaign contribution? (5 years. the "orange-one" pardoned him.) Same charge as trump faces in the SDNY once he's out of office. I heard these two guys debate live one time at JCJC (Jones County Junior College). Hitchens won, hands down.

Omar Khayyám

I knew I'd heard that name before.....He got a plug in one of my all time favorite movies.

Eulalie MacKechnie Shinn:

"The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is a dirty smutty book. Lying out in the woods eating sandwiches; getting drunk off of gin; ...and drinking directly out of jugs with innocent young girls".

Great movie if you've never seen it. They don't make musicals like that anymore.

Captures our vision of mid 20th Century, small town , rural America perfectly. A Masterpiece! Three cheers for Mayor Shin and Three Grecian Urns.
 
"I am the child of Fortune, the giver of good, and I shall not be shamed. She is my mother; my sisters are the Seasons; my rising and my falling match with theirs. Born thus, I ask to be no other man than that I am."
